High Building Costs Deter German Lovers Berlin, Aug. 7.?"Feathering one's nest" is a formidable proposition for the young German of today who contemplates matrimony. Furniture and building costs have risen tj such heights and wages relatively have sunk to such depths that the strains of wedding marches fail to have much of a siren appeal for either "Hans" or "Gretchen." Tradition has long decreed lhat the young man in Germany is expected to provide a house for his bride-to-be before marriage. The latter, for her part, should mpprodch the altpr with a uowi^ sufficient to furnish her'hew horn? with everything from broom to bedstead. Silverware and special comforts for the household ordinarily are contributed by relatives or by guests attending the wedding ceremony. However, there is little prospect of a German girl in the middle or lower classes living up to this custom today. Depending on earnings of a few hundred marks a week, she finds little to save up for her dowry. On the other hand, the man of her choice ?despairing in his search for a place to rent?is forced to consider breach of promise when confronted w.th T?res<>nt hiiilHintr A f. ?.? J> O Uv ciding to erect a brand new home for his bride, he finds the prices of'building materials are more than 81 times what they were before the war. It cost 1,584.50 marks on July 1, 1914 to build a ono s'ory cottage covering 70 square meters. On June 1 this year, building circles claim, erection of such a dwelling entailed an expenditure of 129,290 marks. The cost rose 13.8 pex-cent in May alone. The stone required for a house of 'this sort in the summer of 1914 cost 700 marks, while now it demands an E-l ll 5^?l! I' p * ' ? -J | P|l I *=S 'eshing ^ I LA BOTTLING CO.

Issue Report on Chinese-Portuguese Clash Shanghai, July 3.?(By the Associt.ced Press).?In a formal statement issued by the Portuguese government of Macao a report is present^d_ of the recent conflict between Chinese" arid Portuguese forces, which f for two days gave promise of resulting in open warfare. The government's statement asserts the disturbance developed on May 28 when an African soldier of; the Mozambique Expeditionary Force was assaulted after having an alter-' cation with several Chinese. The sol-' dier, the report s.?js, was so badly in-! jured that he was taken to a hospital tind one of his assailants was arrest- i cd, being takep to the police station at Chip-seng. A mob ihen assembled at the police j station and attemptedJto storm it the] report sets forth, to obtain the re-( lease of the Chinese heid prisoner, aid it was when the gathering grew into thousands it was deemed neces- j snry to send for reinforcements and, an infantry company was sent to the' scene. The Chinese mob fired upon an I ( stoned the infantrymen, according to! the report, and refusing to disperse \ barricaded the streets near the police station in the night and called a gen- J oral strike the following morning, menacing all who attempted to open their shops or go to work.

Buddhist Union Will Explore Tibet J t London, Aug. 7.?Great Britain in- < tends to make a thorough study of the little known land of Tibet, where c devil worship and belief in gh<isis, J still exist. A mission composed of ; some of England's ablest cxplovetrs, | scientists, missionaries and ethn'O- c logists soon will leave London for the city of Lhasa, which is buried be-, f hind the world's greatest raripart of ^ mountains, the Himalayas, between ? India and China. The mission wdl ^ proceed under the auspices of the International Buddhist Union, repre- i seating all schools of Buddhism, in- s eluding the Buddhist Society of the United States. ^ The mission will make a closer in-1 vestigation of the Tibetian people, their customs, religion and language, than has yet been possible, together with a study of rare books and manuscripts known to exist in the monastic ^ libraries. They are expected to prove of the greatest value, not only to 0 Buddhist scholarship *and to the v study of comparative religion, but ^ to fill many gaps that at present exist in the world's knowledge of the ? early history of a country which to ' the present day is veiled in mystery. 1 The Tibetans live in mountain N strongholds 15,000 feet above the ' level of the sea ;which is 500 feevP u:..u il m .

Little is known of . the origin of the people. Local tradition has it that the progenitors of c the race were "a she-devil of the k Himalayas" and an ape from the ^ plains of Hindustan. The last foreigner in Tibet was an American medical missionary, Dr. A. I . Shelton, of Saa Francisco, who spent 17 years at Batang, near the j Chino-Tibetan border.

Dr. Shelton found that the Tibetan ( woman usually marries three or four i brothers, and in one case that came i under his observation a woman had < six brothers for husbands.
